Advance
and the Newhouses
The
Newhouse family, through its Advance Group and other
holdings, has a global magazine and book publishing
empire, along with the odd cable television network and
the other trinkets collected by media czars. Overall
revenue is around US$5 billion, with 40% from its US
newspapers.
studies
Carol
Felsenthal's Citizen Newhouse: Portrait of a Media
Merchant (New York, Seven Stories 98) is the major
biography of grand acquisitor Sam Newhouse, currently
under fire for desecrating that holy of holies the New
Yorker after supposedly raping & pillaging Random
House before selling it off to Bertelsmann.
The mogul - reminiscent
of Walter Annenberg - was the subject of the earlier,
slighter Newhouse: All That Glitter, Power & Glory (Birch
Lane, New York 1997) by Thomas Maier.
The Man Who Was Vogue:
The Life & Times of Conde Nast (London,
Viking 82) by Caroline Seebohm is an entertaining
biography of the founder of Vogue, now part of the
Newhouse group.
